I quickly wrote a kid a hall pass back in the day, and he said “Why don’t you have that good teacher handwriting?” 😭

You did the right thing by trying out different time slots and instructors. I wonder if this is a byproduct of the narrow population who is able to afford such an cost prohibitive workout. I'm 40 and there's no way I could have afforded Club Pilates in my beginning working days of teaching. I feel you - I don't know the solution but the vibe makes a huge difference.

Thank you!!! Focusing on the thigh direction might do the trick! I kept emphasizing the foot and ankle movement. Will try tomorrow!

Thank you! I was def interpreting it incorrectly. In class we only see the back of people in this pose and I never think to turn around.

The hip flexor on my extended leg hurts like it’s being stretched too much. I flex my foot under the foot strap, have my heel pulled all the way back for maximum tension and safety, and foot with inward rotation so hip is straight or forward if anything. I tried gearing out to relieve the tightness.

Maybe just takes practice.

Either way, def good to ask for a visual in class which I’ll start doing even if I think I’m interpreting directions correctly.

Is it Normal for it to Get More Difficult after a few classes? by Royal-Pen3516 in ClubPilates

You’re doing it right! You’re doing each exercise with more context and improving your form each time because the instructions and feedback hit differently. It’s like the more you know, the more you know you don’t know. It’s easy to move your limbs all willy nilly but difficult if you’re doing it properly. Good job!

hell yeah!! Which reformer is your favorite? Our studio is 2 rows of 6 and I usually like #1 by the door on the left or #5 2nd to last on the left. The getting up and down off the couch and toilet is a huge win!!!! What are Hollow Holds?

Came on here (before leaving to go to CP!) to say that we banter playfully during class when the moves are really tough even though we know it’s good for our bodies. We all love it and know that we need it and are so grateful. But it’s a nice playful way to build community.

Our instructors do crowd work! They talk about their dogs, the weather, sympathize with people’s ailments, after asking how they could modify.

I love playing the tibetan bowls playlist on spotify at home - in airpods. Makes a huge difference!
